- Slide the new cover over the drive shaft
- Reconnect everything back



Any pointers or advice is very welcome. I enjoy working on cars and learning and I want to do a good job ;-).

It's a bit easier than that - undo the driveshaft nut remove the hub lower clamp bolt and split the steering track rod end ball joint and you can withdraw the driveshaft from the hub. I prefer to do them on the bench and last time round I used a stretch rubber boot that you can fit without stripping the driveshaft down - it came with a cone and lub to guide it over.
